Danisco Animal Nutrition & Health, a business unit of IFF announced that its industry leading phytase enzyme, Axtra® PHY GOLD, has been authorized for in-feed use in the EU. Axtra® PHY GOLD is a highly bioefficacious phytase. It works faster than any other competitor's phytase to break down phytate present in grains and other commonly used ingredients which would otherwise interfere with digestion and animal performance.
This advanced mode of action improves the release and subsequent uptake of phosphorus, calcium, energy and amino acids, reducing the antinutritional effects of phytate and delivering greater feed cost savings. As the industry moves away from the traditional use of inorganic phosphates (IP), due to concerns around environmental impact and fluctuations in price and availability, producers need effective solutions that will not compromise performance or compromise animal welfare. Axtra® PHy GOLD has been shown to play a vital role in this shift towards more sustainable nutritional strategies by making the total replacement of inorganic phosphates a viable possibility.
Danisco Animal Nutrition & Health has more than 20 years of leadership in phytase development and production. The company first entered the market in 2001 with a fungal phytase known as Phyzyme®, followed by the first commercially available E. coli phytase - Phyzyme® XP - in 2003. Since then, it has continued to raise the bar in terms of formulation technology and results.
Most notably, the pioneering thermostability of Phytase® XP TPT in 2007, the bioefficiency of Axtra® PHy in 2013 and the improved performance of Axtra® PH Y GOLD in 2020. Axtra® phY GOLD is available globally in markets including the U.S., Latin America, Asia Pacific, and most recently in the EU.
